Prompt Reply: The realization that she was alone came slowly as Tatze peered around trees, under bushes and in logs. She turned around as she decided to backtrack only to grasp that she also had no idea where she was.

“Hello?” She called out tentatively; taking a step toward… well she wasn’t sure what she was taking a step toward. It seemed wrong to be in one spot for too long. The stillness made it too easy for anxiety and panic to set in. Being young and naïve she made the decision to keep moving as she called for her friend.

Tatze was an unusually frightened kit. Change made her worry whereas routine made her feel more secure. She was known for her panic attacks and the older modifoxes described her as “difficult” and “stubborn”. They called her outbursts tantrums and often either ignored her concerns or put her in time out. Few took the time to hear her or comfort her. That morning, after a particularly awful attack caused by her usual caregiver not being available, she heard some older foxes discussing her future, or lack thereof.

This distressed her greatly and to prove them wrong she had decided to come into the forest. Obviously if she could go into the forest it would show just how capable she is. It didn’t take long for Tatze to start feeling disconcerted in the trees. The terror she was beginning to feel was offset by the sudden appearance of another kit. The youngling was slightly smaller than Tatze and pure white – so white that light seemed to reflect and glow from her coat.

The new kit called herself Echo and was so playful and friendly, Tatze didn’t feel any of the fears that she lived with. Echo had convinced her to play hide and seek and Tatze went along happily. They played for hours, each round lasting longer and longer as they became better at finding hiding spots. Until now. Now Echo was gone and Tatze was in very unfamiliar territory.

She began whimpering and her movement forward was punctuated with worried little circles as she kept trying to see a way out or for any sign of her friend. She sniffed around but she couldn’t locate any discernable trails. Eventually her progress had devolved completely to circles as she panicked. She felt like she couldn’t see, everything was blurry. The ground felt like it was trying to grab at her paws. The air felt like it was heavy and pressing down on her, she couldn’t breath, SHE COULDN’T BREATH!

“Aw, Tatze, you were doing so well.” A familiar voice said with a hint of disappointment. It took her a moment to calm down enough to focus and another to fully comprehend what she was seeing.

Echo, fully glowing now, was floating in front of her. Tatze had no words. Echo laughed, presumably at the expression on the kits face. She floated forward until their noses met and closed her eyes. Tatze felt a relaxing wave of calm flow from the point of contact.

“Tatze, it is okay to be who you are, but you can not let it cripple you.” Echo floated up higher, pressing her nose once against the top of Tatze’s bowed head, “Fear can save you, fear can ruin you.” The mysterious kit vanished.

Tatze was still for a moment. The moment Echo had touched the top of her head Tatze had learned which direction home laid. She knew that she had a lot of thinking to do, but she also knew that there was a routine at home that had been disrupted. She filed the experience away, knowing she would dwell on it later that night but not realizing that she wouldn’t fully understand until she was well into her adult days. She took off through the trees, not once doubting her steps.

Future Plans?: I'd like to role play her a lot to develop her character more. She has a mild case of aspergers and I thought it would be interesting to see how she grows based on the unique experiences she may have
